Easy fancy desert. Clafoutis. Any firm fruit. If using apples or pears pre cook slightly prior to soaking in liquor. So far I have only made once using apricots and peaches.

If using apricots, break about 1 pound in half and soak in, juice of 1/2 lemon, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of fruit brandy for an hour. Did not have it so used 4 of rum.

In a blender beat 3 whole eggs, 4 tbls of sugar, teaspoon of vanilla, then add slowly 2/3 cup of flour, then 3/4 cup of milk and then the liquid from the fruit. Use high setting. Arrange fruit in buttered or pamed, 10 inch oven ware, and bake in pre heated oven at 400 degrees for 45 min. Sprinkle with 3 teaspoons of powdered sugar. Serve warm.

Latin women like it. (N = 5). It is in effect baked fruit in a type of flan. If you don't like flan you will not like it. And if you don't like fruit forget it.

This is not an original recipe but I found it easy, perhaps because all the mixing done in a blender or perhaps because no dough to mess with. Also we have various fruit trees and ned to use the fruit so I had a bias, and it may have influenced me considerably.
